(Teledyne: Grenoble, France) -- Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces the launch of the Perciva 5D camera, a breakthrough imaging innovation designed to make high‑quality short‑range 3D vision cost effective, reliable, and easy to integrate.

Most industrial cameras only capture 2D images. Yet many applications increasingly require depth perception at close and very‑close range. Perciva 5D delivers this capability through a unique angular sensitive pixel technology and advanced onboard processing, enabling real-time 2D and 3D image fusion at the calibrated working distance range. Perciva 5D also features a powerful neural processing unit (NPU), enabling artificial intelligence models to run on-device and be customized to each customer’s specific requirements.

Perciva 5D generates 2D and 3D data from a single CMOS sensor, free from optical occlusion, producing time-aligned 2D frames alongside pixel‑aligned 3D depth maps. With comprehensive 3D processing built directly into the camera, users benefit from immediate depth maps or point‑cloud outputs. Perciva 5D operates using ambient light, indoors or outdoors, eliminating the need for an external NIR source while maintaining reliable performance and minimizing system costs. Designed for challenging environments, it offers plug‑and‑play integration through its GenICam‑compliant, GigE vision interface and robust IP6x‑rated housing with industrial M12 connectors.

Factory calibrated and weighing just 230 grams, Perciva 5D operates at less than 5 W and is ideal for robotics (arms, cobots, and humanoids), retail self-checkout solutions, and 3D industrial process monitoring. It supports user-adjustable frame rates or triggered acquisition and multiple power options. Using GenDC/GenTL, the camera integrates seamlessly with Teledyne’s Spinnaker 4 API and SpinView for 2D/3D visualization, as well as leading machine‑vision software platforms.
